San Jose State is 14th in the NCAA in total defense (288.0 YPG), allowing just eight TDs in five games. Forcing eight turnovers, the Spartans are showing a +7 turnover ratio. That good’s for a share of sixth in the nation. There are 19 different San Jose State defenders who’ve recorded tackles for losses this season.

QB1 Haener Hurting For Bulldogs

QB1 Jake Haener (ankle) will be missing his third consecutive game for the Bulldogs. Haener is an All-Conference caliber QB who’s shown pro potential. With Logan Fife at the helm of the  offense, Fresno State is getting beaten like a drum. In two games as the starter, Fife is 0-2. He’s yet to throw a touchdown pass and has been picked off four times.

A welcome sight for Fresno State fans: QB Jake Haener spotted throwing at practice today for the first time since his USC injury.

In a measure of comparison, Fife’s first starting assignment saw the Bulldogs losing 19-14 to UConn, the Huskies limiting Fresno State to 187 yards of total offense. It was the first win by the Huskies against an FBS school since 2019. With Haener at the helm, a 2021 game saw Fresno State whipping UConn 45-0.

San Jose State vs Fresno State Prediction

It’s the first home game in a month for the Bulldogs. It’s also homecoming and a showdown against their biggest rivals.

However, without Haener and facing San Jose State’s stout defense, this figures to be a game where the Bulldogs are biting off more than they can chew.

Pick: San Jose State Spartans -8.5 (-110).
